All the advice you have been given is valid and should or could be of some assistance. However if you do not have a working knowledge of the system all this advice may as well be written in a foriegn language. Get the books and get an understanding of the electrical system AS HENRY BUILT IT and then start tracing down your problem. The Model A really is a simple little machine but it is said that French is a simple language... maybe so but it's all Greek to me. When you understand the system the answers will come easily. And remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, don't rush it. These cars are meant to be enjoyed.
My oninion on the "Modern Point Plate" is about the same as my opinion on fried chicken... chicken's have nothing to fear from me.
